This place is near my home and they make the most authentic fish & CHips i've had in this town. They have also been well reviewed by a few well known publications. Worth an honorable mention.

Update to this review (7/17)

LICNYC checked out the Chipper Thursday night after the opening of the MoMA Projects show of Sabine Hornig. The place is the most attractive shop on the street, though a little hard to find if you don't remember it's at 42nd street since there is no awning.

The menu is more robust than you'd expect. There is a fine selection of fishes in batters of all the usual types -- cheap too! Whitefish in batter is only 3-4 bucks. There's other stuff too -- battered sausage, battered hambuger!, veggie burger (very delicious), curry chicken, and all kinds of sides. Of course they have chips/fries, which are tasty but perhaps could be better. And they have all kinds of stuff the local Irish must miss sorely from home: mushy peas, baked beans and the like.

The battered burger was delicious and made instants before serving. The setup is a little too "quick-service" since it wasn't exactly thronged with crowds. While a downtown Dublin chippery may require such sparse layout, there would be no complaints about the odd table at the Chipper. Yet, clearly the ambiance and attention to authentic detail is what matters, and the barstools along the perimeter of the place add to it.

Definitely worth a look.
